Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Researchers at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility recently chalked up a physics "first": the simultaneous emission of two protons from an atom's decaying nucleus. The finding, based on preliminary experiments with the Holifield Facility's unique fluorine-17 beam, also represents a new type ...
Nermin A. Uckan of the Department of Energy's (DOE) 91°µÍø (ORNL) has been named editor-designate of the technical journal Fusion Technology, a publication of the American Nuclear Society. Uckan, a senior scientist and program leader in charge of the ORNL Next-Step Fusion Stud...
Michelle Buchanan has been named director of the Chemical and Analytical Sciences Division at the Department of Energy's (DOE) 91°µÍø (ORNL).Buchanan previously was associate director of ORNL's Life Sciences Division and will remain director of the Center for Structural Molec...
Some of the secrets to achieving fusion energy may be unlocked by calculations developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø (ORNL) and run on the lab's supercomputer.Fusion energy, evident in the sun and stars, is the ultimate source of power because it provi...
Manufacturers of portable instruments or test kits to detect explosives or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil and transformer oil will have a better idea of how well their gear works after participating in a program at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø (ORNL).For 10 day...
Carol H. Scott has been named director of the Operational Safety Services Division at the Department of Energy's (DOE) 91°µÍø (ORNL).Scott is responsible for directing programs that oversee safety procedures at ORNL. She formerly worked in ORNL's Robotic and Process Systems D...
James Allen Bucholz of the Department of Energy's (DOE) 91°µÍø (ORNL) has been named to the Bulgarian Nuclear Society. Bucholz, a nuclear engineer, is a research staff member with ORNL's Computational Physics and Engineering Division, and is currently on assignment to the Spal...
A whole new technology awaits exploration with the discovery of a technique for trapping single atoms, according to scientists at ORNL. Researchers at ORNL and Nanocrystals Technology in Briarcliff, N.Y., have collaborated to cage single europium atoms in nanocrystals not much larger than the atoms ...
In many of today's chemical applications, efficient mixing is critical to achieve product quality and uniformity, and ORNL engineers have devised a better way to do the mixing. The electrohydrodynamic micromixing reactor uses a specially designed electrified injection nozzle that mixes the chemicals...
Emergency responders have a new tool developed by ORNL that could save perhaps thousands of lives around the world. The LandScan Global Population Database is a worldwide source of population data with spatial precision to assess local impacts from floods, airborne contamination and other natural or...
